  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: AMD A8-Series (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
    • System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

  • Memory
    • System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
    • Type of Memory (RAM): DDR3 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
    • System Memory RAM Expandable To: 16 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)

Q: what does amd a8 processor stand for

A: AMD is the Manufacturer's acronym for Advanced Micro Devices and is a Intel's primary competitor. The A8 series simply represents the Generation of the processor (the brains of a computer) within a specific model or family e.g. Chevrolet has many types of vehicle families and specific features on models within them. A Camaro fully loaded is called a 2LT versus the 1LT (basic). The AMD Fusion family has the A4, A6, A8, & A10 models and as you might suspect the A8 is at the higher end of that model series, giving you more features or 'a stronger engine'. Hope this helps.

Q: Does this computer have an ethernet port for connecting directly to internet?

A: Hello, I see that you are interested in knowing if this Pavilion Desktop comes with an ethernet port. The answer is yes, this desktop has a built in ethernet port located on the back side of the desktop. Hopefully that helps you out, and thanks again for choosing HP.

Q: DVI Port?

A: I just bought one and it has VGA and DVI, but no HDMI like the back photo shows.

Q: Expansion Bays

A: this machine in not expandable

Q: HDMI ports

A: The above computer does not have an HDMI port. It has a DVI and VGA port. The picture above showing the back of the computer is the wrong photo. I went in store and checked the back of the computer to be sure. There are 4 USB ports on the back of the actual computer and 2 on the front along with the DVI and VGA ports on the back.

Q: does this unit come with speaker?

A: No, it does not come with speakers.
